As expected, the NBA revealed the name of the winner of the Defender of the Year 2022-23 trophy last night. It is finally Jaren Jackson Jr., the interior of Memphis, who wins the reward.
Brook Lopez, Evan Mobley, Jaren Jackson Jr.? This is the big question a panel of journalists was supposed to answer regarding the DPOY. Clearly, which of these three boys has been the biggest nightmare for opposing attackers this season? The polls have rendered their verdict and it is therefore the strong winger of the Grizzlies who wins the bet.

This is obviously a great first for triple J, which celebrated its first star at the All-Star Game this year. Best blocker in the League and boss of the 3rd defense of the country, Jackson has clearly proven that he is one of the elite stoppers. Furthermore, Tim MacMahon ofESPN informs us that he is the second-youngest winner (age 23) in DPOY history behind Dwight Howard. He is also the second Memphis player to win this title following Marc Gasol in 2013.

With 391 points, Jackson is ahead of Brook Lopez (309), his most serious competitor for the final victory. Evan Mobley completes the podium with 101 points. For the rest, we note that Milwaukee places three players in the final Top 8 (Giannis Antetokounmpo and Jrue Holiday and therefore Lopez), but also that we find no trace of last season’s winner, Marcus Smart.
